Day 118: Meaning in Life
Biggest Takeaway
In Jan, I was busy decluttering my room. my space. I want to make way for new things to come into my life. I feel good and relax after I declutter and give away my things to people who need them. The universe is responding to what I want. I ask for $4000 a month and money does come into my life. I use my money wisely. I understand money is always on the table and it is ever flowing. Money takes care of itself. I just need to take care of my state of mind.
The state of my mind how I can identify
Anxiety
Stress
Nervous
“Stone”
Relax
I don’t have to wait until I become anxious to solve my issues, when I am aware that I am at the “stone” (frozen) stage, I can respond to it already.
I am a learner, I want to learn and grow. When I have accomplished one level, I want to move on to the next one and to the next one. I never stop learning. Be humble and curious to learn. When I feel inadequate, I want to learn more to make myself be a wiser person.
2 parts of life:
Life is like a circle, also like waves, ups and downs...
Early part of Life keep wanting, keep receiving, always seems not enough, always want to have, accumulating
Later part of Life keep giving back, decluttering, releasing, letting go, contributing
I am Type 1 Reformer (main) in Enneagram and Type 2 Helper (secondary), I can tap on my own strength. I also remember to look out for my own weaknesses. Eg. too critical or too helpful, end up not appreciated by others.
To find meaning in my life is to create and design my own life
Use Playground as a life metaphor.
To play, have fun, and learn while playing. The playground blocks (challenges) are built for a purpose. To stretch my brain and body muscles. To become a wiser and compassionate person.
Homework: Read Man’s Search for meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
What have I learnt:
1. Ability to choose a more positive attitude in any given set of situations.
2. How I respond, instead of reacting.
Forces beyond my control can take everything I possess except one thing, my freedom to choose how I will respond to the situation. I cannot control what happens to me in life, but I can always control how I feel and do about what happened to me.
3. Success has to let it happen by not caring about it. Let success follow me.
4. Celebrate small wins often.
*Finished reading on 25 March - one month of read*
What is the meaning of life?
This question has both plagued and motivated humans for centuries, and it’s probably crossed your mind once or many times.
But how do we answer this question, and how can we ensure our lives have meaning?
Man’s Search for Meaning recounts Viennese psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl’s experiences in the concentration camps of WWII and the school of therapy he invented to help us confront this very question.
I didn't finish the whole book as it was heavy content to read. I grasp the essence of this book. There were so much pain and wisdom in this book.
Viktor Frankl was able to observe the way uniquely that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being held up concentration camp (also known as death camp), where 1.5 million people died in Auschwitz.
Man's search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life. This meaning is unique and specific, that it must and can be fulfilled by him alone. It achieves a significance which will satisfy his own will to meaning.
3 possible sources for meaning
1) In work (doing something significant)
2) In love (caring for another person)
3) In courage during difficult times
One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment, which demands fulfillment. He can't be replaced nor his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.
Each man is questioned by life, he can only answer to life by answering for his own life. He can only respond by awareness and being responsible with his own life.
The essence of life existence, understand
1) Who I truly am - understand oneself
2) The meaning of love - understand another being core personality
3) The meaning of suffering - find meaning in a hopeless situation
Frankl's initial intent was just to do self reflection in the camp, he never thought his camp experiences became one of the best selling books of all times.
Frankl noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances.
Forces beyond our control can take everything we possess except one thing, our freedom to choose how we will respond to the situation. We cannot control what happens to us in life, but we can always control how we feel and do something about it.
Saying Yes to life, in spite of everything. The human capacity to creatively turn life's negative aspects into something positive or constructive. In other words, what matters is to make the best of any given situation.
Do some people feeling empty inside?
It is a question of the attitude one takes towards life's challenges and opportunities, both large and small.
A positive attitude enables a person to endure suffering and disappointment as well as enhance enjoyment and satisfaction.
A negative attitude intensifies pain and deepens disappointment. It may even lead to depression or physical illness.

Day 116: Taking Ownership
This is the 3rd year I am having Diabetes, 2018.
I went into fear, denial mode, anger, I couldn't care less.
All these emotions are unable to resolve my illness.
Until one day, I cut myself, my wound didn't heal well.
I realised that I need to take back my health ownership.
Health belongs to me and I only have 1 body, at least in this lifetime.
If I just leave it alone, in the end, I need to suffer from my own doing.
I am more congruent with my thoughts, words and actions and wanting back my health currently. I want to align my mind, heart and body together as one.
My mind says,"I am able to do it."
My heart says," I will make it happen."
My body says,"Yes, let's do it together."
Nothing is important than self care and self love.
I want myself.
At the end of the day, we CONTROL our life. We CHOOSE how we want to navigate through the ups and downs. We CREATE the life we want to live. Take ownership of it!

Day 115: The power of small changes
"If you get one percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done." -James Clear
Many a times, we may think that we need to make huge changes before we can achieve huge results. However, it is the small and consistent tweaks that can result in the largest change in the long run.
Want to be healthier? Start eating clean and exercising more!
If we want to be fitter, start eating a little more healthily every day.
Want to be more knowledgeable? Start learning and applying more!
If we want to be more knowledgeable, start reading a little more every day.
Want to stronger relationships? Start communicating more!
If we want to be sociable, start getting in touch with people every day.
Want to be more financially well-off? Start saving more and spending less!
If we want to have more wealth, start saving a little more every day.
Want to deliver more impact? Start value adding more!
if we want to be more skillful, start practicing a little more every day.
If we want to be happier, start practicing a little more gratitude every day.
The way to change our situations is to convert hesitations into decisions, thoughts into actions, and stepping back into stepping forward.
Never underestimate the power of these small changes. Do them consistently and when we look back after a year, we will see that we will have moved forward really far.

Day 114: Rest while you can
Rest while you can, before it becomes a health issue.
A survey by international market research agency YouGov found that 44 per cent of Singaporeans are getting less than seven hours of sleep a night.
Due to our hectic life, we feel so deprived of rest. Recently, I realised whenever I have ample of rest, I am more productive and I can think better.
Rest is not just to make up our lost time or waste of time, but quality rest helps to heal our body to prevent fatigue, release the tension and to rejuvenate our body.
Sleep is not like a financial transaction. We can't deposit ZZZs over the weekend and expect to cash them out later. The loss of rest once lost and it can never gain back.
I realised this truth kind of late. Thankfully, I am still able to take care of my body in self care ways. #SelfCare #WorkInProgress

This year my learning is to build quality relationship with money.
Gratitude, connection, alignment with money.

Being an solopreneur wasn't easy but definitely worth my time and effort to contribute to the society in my own ways.
May we grow in compassion and wisdom.

Day 106: Giving and Receiving
Moo it... Moo it...
Morning exercise at the park.
As I have a better relationship with my family doctor, he asked me don't visit him on Monday because a lot of people will visit him.
Good health needs to be earned. When we take care of ourselves, we generally don't get to see doctors so often.
In the past, I would rather wait for my doctors. Now, I would rather be with the Nature.
My Chinese New Year resolution is I want back my health. Wishing all of you, be well and stay safe. 祝大家身体健康，吉祥如意#cny2021
I decided to give away this black shoes to my sister as wearing this shoes makes me uncomfortable.
May I live my life with more ease and comfort. The cutting of the shoes determine if I can wear them comfortably.

(Exercise) 3 Sports shoes: Dark and Light, Mountain climbing high cut shoes
(Formal) 2 Heels: Black, Blue
(Casual) 1 Sandal: Blue with little Pink Stripe
(Working) 5 Office Wear: Black, Brown, Gray, White, Gold
I value myself and hence, I value my things as well.

My Chinese New Year resolution is I want back my health. Wishing all of you, be well and stay safe. 祝大家身体健康，吉祥如意#cny2021

Day 105: 卍字 CNY Door Decoration
Thanks to Meiyan to give me the idea to make my own chinese new year blessings.
The word swastika comes from Sanskrit. meaning "conducive to well-being". In Buddhism, 卍字 means auspicious, purity and completeness.
I wish people around me has a blessed and prosperity year.
This year my theme is Alignment.
Connection, Gratitude, Money, Alignment
1) to have good health and good relationship with myself
2) to build good affinity with other people
3) to connect with my 贵人 so that they help me to grow and expand my business
4) I am able to contribute back to the society
I want to manifest $50k first or something better because I deserve it. I feel everything needs step by step. I just need to believe and have faith in myself. I need to have a figure that I feel that it's already happening and the money is here and now. My money goal is possible and achievable. Recently, I manifested $1000 and the 2 clients just pay me immediately 🤪. I felt so amazing. #CNY2021

Day 102: Flower blossom
This is my first flower pot in my room. I don't have green fingers in growing plants. The lady says it is very easy to take care, Just once a week watering will do. Hopefully, this plant can grow well in my room.
Teacher Meizhen gave me two lovely CNY phrase:
花开四季添新意 (Flowers blossom all year round, increase good thoughts)
🌸🌸🌸🌸
耕耘心田除习气 (Cultivate a good heart, remove bad habits)
❤❤❤❤
That is what I need 💓
Somehow having a pot of plant in my room has brighten up my day. At least it is a living thing as it breathes, feels and requires food, sunlight and water to grow.

Day 101: Peranakan Culture and Food
Thanks Jing Jing for bringing me to this Peranakan food, experiencing the lost culture. I like the prints, the crafts and the culture.
We are moving so fast that the details of the meanings are lost.
I still remembered some of the flasks, metal plates, tingkaks were used at my grandma house. #AppreciatingMoments

Day 100: 8th Year in MTS Children Dharma Class
I have the heart for children. Mee Toh School Children are very blessed to learn Dharma at such a young age. We want to guide them the right path of goodness and right moral values.
I lost my way, after many hard knocks and I finally found my spiritual path that I can accept myself fully and work with a group of dedicated and committed Dharma Teachers. Because of their diligence, I also want to be like them. This is the reason why I continue serving Children Dharma Class for 8th year. I am still counting.. Cherish while I am still able to serve..
Everything we do, to have positive outcomes, they require time and effort. If we are not achieving the results that we want, we need to be patient with ourselves to learn, change the method or seek help externally. That will shorten the learning curve and grow in wisdom and compassion.
Thank you for the right conditions. May we continue to learn and practise the Dharma, be a skillful dharma teacher.

Day 99: Area G2 & G3 International Speech and Table Topics Contest
I was late for Area G2 International Speech and Table Topics Contest. I was disqualified. I wasn't disappointed, despite I crafted and practiced my speech for 2 weeks.
This contest was still valuable to me because I get to learn from better speakers. Their choice of words, their tonality, their stories. Fortunately, I was able to participate in the table topics contest. My objective for taking part in these 2 contests, wasn't to win any trophy, but to see myself how much I have grown.
For once, I felt that I am more confident, my content flows well and I was able to touch people hearts with what I shared. That's good enough for me.
I still remembered when I made my first speech in 2005, I shivered and jittered as if my world was going to crumple. I wasn't even able to complete my 4 min speech.
Life always has interesting ways to surprise me.
After the 4 contests, there was some extra time given, while waiting for the chief judge to tally the final results. Anand, contest chair, asked me to deliver my unspoken speech. My speech was "It is OK to be me".
I warmed up myself after 3 hours listening to heartfelt speeches, I was able to share my life in corporate world and why I became an entrepreneur, simply because I felt that I needed something more in life. I also shared about self love. Sharing personal stories are a lot easier as they are my life stories.
This is my first time sharing from my heart with 40+ audiences. One lady came to me and said she was touched by my story.
We will never know what is the outcome until we learned to participate fully in our life. I am grateful to be me. :)

Day 98: Stretching my lower back
Melisa adviced me to work on my lower back.
Only through the exercises, I realised how bad my pains are.
I give myself more self care.
I personally feel 1 hour per day to do stretching is not asking a lot from me.
Today is 2nd last day of The Acai Cafe.
People is always so strange, we always crave for things or people that we no longer able to have them.
When they are around, we ignore them. When they are about to go or even no longer around,
we start to miss them and by that time, it will be obviously too late.
Cherish while we can, because nothing lasts forever, including people.

Day 97: Renew my Shelf and Aircon
This time round, I choose my things carefully.
Those items that are important, useful and relevant,
then I will put them back onto the shelf.
I envision what my new shelf will be.
It is exactly what I drew.
Sketching are good when I have an idea and I just pen down my thoughts and emotions into it to make it happened.
Reignite my drawing skills again.
The aircon men are experienced, they came into our house from 10am to 1pm.
I also went out around that time, when I came back, I just need to put back my things to the shelf.
I am appreciative what has happened into my life. Thank you Ah Yang and Sister and many other people who love and support me.

Day 96: GBA CNY Gathering
Ray is generous to invite us to his home for CNY steamboat.
He bought 1 set of CNY plates from Ivan.
I find it quite nice too but it only have 4 pax to a set so I want to buy, i will need to buy 2 sets.
I was packing my room and I saw this photography book that I bought long time ago.
My intent is to give this good book away to someone who needs it.
Ray face appears in my mind.
I remembered that Ray was thinking to reignite his photography passion so I thought this book will be suitable to him. When he saw this book, his face lighted up. I do hope that this book can benefit him.

Day 95: I lost my way and I attended AJ Sprint Preview
I was supposed to meet Adelene to collect back my 1st Journal. Unfortunately, my hp went flat. On top of that, I wasn't quite sure how to go to Adelene's place. Yet I want to try because it is my arrangement with Adelene. I lost my way, people who told me didn't tell me the actual route. I took MRT to Outram and to harbourfront, I took wrong side of 166. I wanted to take a cab but my hp was flat, I couldn't call. When I go to the right side of the bus stop, I wasn't sure which bus to take, all seems to be okay. I took 10 but it didn't reach there. A lady is kind enough to tell me that I need to take 131 (2 stops), changed to 121 / 272 (3 stops). By the time I reached there it was 2 hours later.
Now I know, from Dobhy Ghaut MRT, take bus 124, simple and straight forward. What an experience!
Jonanthan from AJ and Smart. gave me the confidence to run design sprint on my own.
He and his team has run 100+ design sprint in 2016.
I have 2 options: I figured it out on my own or I learn their best practises.
1. Instead of calling design sprint where nobody knows, I can call it a problem solving workshop.
2. Run small workshop to help small companies to solve small issues first.
3. Once I gained their trust then I will introduce design sprint. Helping with the re-alignment of the company.
4. Give them the framework to work on, how to work faster, better.
If you know about the Sprint, you already know more than most people. You are the leader, just like the chef that has the ingredients and the receipe.
1. You can solve any problem with a step-by-step process, like the Design Sprint.
2. Being the leader isn't about personality, but about being the one who is an Expert in the process that delivers results.
Day 1 find the Problem to work on.
Day 2 Give Clear direction to work on under 2 weeks.
Day 3 Ideate and protoype
Day 4 Validate and Testing
Give Clarity, Direction, Validate and Deliver
Design Sprint works because it has the framework.
He quoted 35k for 2 weeks and 20k for 1 week, fairly resonable pricing.

Day 94: Money Mindset Day 4
We are asked to filled up Money Abundance Cheque.
I wrote clearly that I needed $1000 cheque for sharing the new aircon in the family.
To my surprise, within 3 days, I received $800 from my client and $200 from another client. I received $1000 in 3 days time. That is fast :)
Because the new aircon need to rewiring, so I have to remove my stuffs from the shelf for time being. It is really a great time for me to declutter and reorganise my space. I am grateful for this opportunity.
I told Evelyn that the cheque that I wrote in 2017, it didn't work.
Then after that I calculate for the past 4 years that I have been working on my business. I earned close to $100k, so the universe cheque did work for me. It is just didn't show up the way I thought it will be. I wasn't clear what is it for and when do I want it.
After these 2 cheques did happen, it gave me a lot more confident to put the amount that I want.
I want a $50,000 payment by Dec 2021.
The money will be used for my healthy lifestyle, plant based diets, Education, Business, Communication, Insurance and Travel (depends on Covid-19 situation)
I am working with Evelyn on my healing and money blocks and leaks and Hyder on coaching and facilation work.
With more support and resources from the people around, I believe it can happened.
Just happened my sister bought an unicorn iron on sticker and I stick on to my favourite tshirt 😍🌈🦄 Unicorn placed a huge significance in my heart. With her around, I feel safe and at ease, everything is doable :)
